FOR COMMENT ON UPCOMING FY 2008
BUDGET AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

The Alexandria City Council has scheduled a public hearing to receive comment on the City’s upcoming Fiscal Year 2008 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program during its regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, October 24 at 7:00 p.m. The hearing will take place in the Council Chambers in City Hall, 301 King St. The hearing was previously scheduled for October 14 but was rescheduled due to the City Council’s lengthy docket on that date.
